6th ranked PSU wins over Iowa State 3-0. 25-22, 25-16, 25-16. Penn State faces LSU tomorrow afternoon in Ames before coming home next weekend to meet the challenging Stanford and Oregon teams. on the 13th and 14th. These two opponents should sell out Rec Hall hopefully as revelers from the Pitt blowout will be looking for more intense athletic competition from the Ladies before they head home.
Probably the best OOC volleyball weekend at psu ever. A true test.
It will be a test but it is far from the best OOC VB weekend at Penn State. Just a few years ago we hosted Stanford, Texas and Florida on the same weekend.
Pitt just knocked off #10 Oregon 3-1. Watched a bit on TV. They are a good team.PSU 4th, woe,Pitt is 6th? Wow
Yikes. It was 90 degrees with humidity in the city today and that building has been a sweat lodge for decades. I’m a little surprised given the circumstances that they didn’t move it to the Pete.I watched the Pitt match. Entertaining. No air conditioning so it was 91 degrees in the building. Oregon lost one of the key players and had two others injured and not able to play.
Pitt went like 32-1 last year due to their schedule and then got destroyed in the tourney when they had to play a real team. I'm impressed they beat oregon, so they must be better than last year.PSU 4th, woe,Pitt is 6th? Wow

They lost to #18 seed Michigan in 5 sets in the 2nd round of NCAAs. Not exactly what I would call destroyed. We are definitely the favorite against Pitt but I expect a couple of good matches. We will have a better idea of where a fairly young PSU team stands after tonight's match against #1 Stanford.
Yeah, their best player got hurt and didn’t play (or left early) in that match. They haven’t been a nationally-ranked type of program for very long, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they just didn’t or don’t have the depth to compensate for a big hitter not playing. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Penn State takes both matches, but beating Oregon is a better win than they had all of last year, so it seems like they’re at least a little better and/or deeper.They lost to #18 seed Michigan in 5 sets in the 2nd round of NCAAs.

Oregon was a wounded duck!
LOL, good one. Sure hope the Ducks are flying high when they meet us.
The weekend home-and-home seems unusual, especially for an OOC opponent. I don't follow volleyball closely so maybe it happens more than I know.
So is Pitt legitimately good at something now??
